HISTORY OF THE PROGRAMME/SUB-DISCIPLINE/DISCIPLINE

Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma was established by the First Executive Governor of the

Defunct Bendel State, Professor Ambrose Folorunsho Alli in 1982. The University was opened

for full academic operations on January 15, 1982. Under a Collegiate structure, the College of

Education was one of the eight Colleges which started in the University. The College of

Education started with 13 lecturers and Professor J. U. Aisiku was the first Rector of the College.

The College of Education started with 44 students, who matriculated along with other students

on February 6, 1982. In 1983, the then Executive Governor of Bendel State, Dr. S.O. Ogbemudia

instituted a visitation panel on the University. The outcome of the report led to the rationalization

of three Colleges, namely, the College of Education, College of Agriculture and College of

Medical Sciences by Gen. Jeremiah T. Useni, Military Administrator of the State.

During the 1985/1986 academic session, the Faculty of Education was reopened in the

University and was housed in the then College of Education, Abraka. That led to the

transformation of the College of Education, Abraka (an N. C. E awarding institution) to become

a campus of Bendel State University. Following the creation of additional States in the

Federation of Nigeria, the then Faculty of Education of the University which was situated at

Abraka was acquired by the Delta State Government and upgraded to a full University.

Following the acquisition of the Abraka campus of the then Bendel State University by

the Delta State Government, it became obvious that the Ekpoma main campus of the University

which was renamed Edo State University, Ekpoma was without a Faculty of Education. Thus,

during the 1992/93 academic session, Senate of the University recommended the establishment
of the Faculty of Education for the University, which was established and had Professor J. U.

Aisiku as the Dean.

The Faculty operated then under three Departments: Department of Educational

Foundations. Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the Department of Vocational and

Technical Education. In 1996/1997 session Department of Physical and Health Education was

separated from the Department of Vocational and Technical Education as they were one

Department before then. As at that time, the Department offered five degrees options namely,

Agriculture Education, Business Education (Accounting and Secretary Education), Home

Economics Education and Industrial Technical Education with options in Building,

Electrical/Electronics and Mechanical Technology.

In 1997/1998 session, because of lack of manpower, accommodation facilities and other

modalities for accreditation purpose, Industrial Technical Education curriculum approved by the

Senate was suspended and a new programme the ‘Technology Education’ was put in place

instead of the ‘Industrial Technical Education’, which is being offered till date. It is now that

plans are under way to restore back the Industrial Technical Education curriculum approved by

Senate of the University to replace the Technology Education.

In the history of the Department, the following persons have emerged as Heads in the

Department: Prof. A. Momodu, Prof. M. O. Omo-Ojugo, Prof. Don. Omoike, Dr. Osemota, Dr.

A. I. Iseguan, Prof. E. O. Imhanlahimi, Prof. Mrs. H. Efoghe, Prof. Mrs. E. E. Idialu, Prof. R.

Uwameiye, Dr. Mrs. J. A Adavbiele, Dr. Rev. P. S. O. Uddin, Late Dr. G. O. Agbonghale, and

Dr. Mrs. B. E. Uwameiye.

The Department has just in 2015/2016 session started the higher Degree programme in

M.Ed, MEd/M.Phil and Ph.D in Home Economics Education and Technical Education.
 GUIDELINES OF THE COURSE SYSTEM

1. CATEGORIZATION OF COURSES:

1. CORE COURSES (C): These are courses within the discipline which must be
taken and passed.

2. REQUIRED COURESE (R): These are courses outside the discipline which
must be taken on the advice of the Department and passed.

3. GENERAL STUDIES COURSES (G): These are courses of the General Studies
Programme which must be taken and passed.

4. ELECTIVE COURSES (E): These are courses within or outside the discipline
that are to be taken to meet the requirements of a particular degree programme but
need not be passed.

5. PRE-REQUISITE COURSES: Pre-requisite courses are courses the knowledge

of which is needed prior to the taking of other specified courses. A student is
deemed to have obtained this pre-requisite knowledge if he/she obtains a mark not
less than 30% but will not be credited with any units in the course concerned
except he/she scores a minimum of 40%. This particular clause is without
prejudice to Faculty requirements.

II. COURSE ASSESSMENT:

(a) Every course assessment must consist of continuous assessment
(b) (between 20% and 40%) and course examination (between 60% and 80%).
(c) The pass mark for every course assessment is 40%.
(d) The grading system is as follows:

Scores Grade Grade Point

70-100 A 5
60-69 B 4
50-59 C 3
45-49 D 2
0-39 F 0

However, the university has started implementing NUC new grading system with effect from
2013/2014 session.

(e) Students’ results are to be prepared at the end of every session reflecting the units taken,
the units passed (accumulated) and the semester’s G.P.A.
 (f) At the end of every session students’ results are prepared reflecting the units taken during
the session, the units passed during the session, the cumulative Grade point average
(CGPA), the courses failed for the session and the over-all result of proceeding, on
probation or withdrawal from the (degree) programme.
(g) At the end of the degree programme students’ results are prepared reflecting total units
registered in the programme, total units passed in the programme, CGPA. Courses failed
and degree classification according to the following scheme.

CGPA CLASS OF DEGREE

4.50-5.0 First Class
3.50-4.49 2nd Class Upper
2.40-3.49 2nd Class Lower
1.50-2.39 Third Class
Less Than 1.50 Fail

This is for the old students.

(h) The CGPA for a student is determined in the following manner:

(i) For each session the weighted grade point is obtained for each course as the product
of the grade point and the units for the course.
(ii) The total weighted grade points and the total units are obtained for each session.
(iii)The sum of the total weighted grade points for all the sessions and the sum of the
total units for all the sessions are calculated to give the cumulative weighted grade
points and the cumulative units respectively.
(ii) On dividing the cumulative weighted grade points by the cumulative units one
obtains the cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
(h) As an example consider a student who takes seven courses in a session with the
following details:

Units Mark Grade Grade Weighted

(a) (B) (c) Point Grade Point
(d) (a) x (d)
Course 1 3 62 B 4 12
Course 2 3 51 C 3 9
Course 3 3 48 D 2 6
Course 4 2 33 F 0 0
Course 5 3 45 D 2 6
Course 6 2 52 C 3 6
Course 7 3 42 D 2 6
45

(ii) If a student has the following results over four sessions:

Then cumulative weighted grade point = 284
Cumulative Units = 164
Hence, CGPA = 1.73
The student will therefore come up in the third class degree classification.
“ There is no reference in any course examination.
“ There is no repeat in the course system. Therefore a student cannot re-register for a course
already passed.
“ A student must accumulate at least 30 units per level before graduation.
“ There is no weighting of sessional GPA in the computation of CGPA.
“ In the computation of the CGPA all courses taken in the session will be used, and therefore
no course will be disregarded or discountenanced.

PROBATION:
1. A student who makes a CGPA of 1.50 or more at the end of the session will proceed to
the next level of the degree programmed for which he is registered.
2. A student who makes a CGPA of less than 1.50 at the end of the session will be on
probation for the following session to enable him/her improve on the CGPA. During that
session he must register for the appropriate core-courses, required courses and GST
courses which he/she has not passed, and any other courses for which he/she has the pre-
requisites.
3. A student on probation during a session who makes a CGPA of less than 1.50 during that
session must withdraw from the degree programme for which he is registered.
4. If the student changes to a new degree programme and obtains a CGPA of less than 1.50
in the new degree programme he/she will again be on probation. If however he obtains a
CGPA of less than 1.50 a second time in the new degree programme he/she will be asked
to withdraw from the University.

TRANSFER:
1. Every student seeking transfer from one degree programme to another must complete the
necessary forms within the stipulated time.
2. All courses taken in the previous degree programme will be used for the computation of
the CGPA for the new degree programme.
3. All regulations in respect of the new degree programme concerning core courses,
required courses, etc., must be met before graduation.
